This was taken during a walk near our home on a stretch of the Pigeon River near Indian River, Michigan. The river here is a challenge to those who canoe or kayak . . . the fallen tree adds to the challenge. This is an attempt to simulate a Michael Orton photograph. (OE)
For years, I've been asked to do pictures of me as comic book women, so I've done some online research to find out who they are and what they look like. Then I put together costumes to get their look as close as I can. Usually, it takes a good bit of photo editing. Making their look and building sets or finding good locations is a fun process. Thanks to the people who have suggested who they would like me to appear as. I have more in the works. If you have any suggestions, please drop me a line.
My brief for this challenge was: Train Station, Billboard, Possibly a Cinema, and ‘Rainman’ Escaping.
Still no cinema but I got the train station, billboard and Rainman escaping the ‘Bounty Hunters’. This image fits the brief better than the first attempt to fulfil the challenge….! (Latest Challenge).

Our Daily Challenge ~ Showcase a Favourite Thing
This is my favourite tulip out of all the ones I planted last Autumn.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

The challenge calls for "My Favourite Things". I have lots of favourite things to choose from but visiting the Sumatran Tigers at Australia Zoo is really a great pleasure.
"Australia Zoo is home to some of the last surviving Indonesian species of big cat – the Sumatran tiger!
Found throughout the forests and grasslands of Sumatra, these big cats are the smallest of all remaining tiger species. They are an impressive and powerful hunter with the ability to jump up to 5 metres (16 feet) in length! Using their stealthy stalking abilities, they will successfully hunt deer, pigs, jungle fowl and fish. Sumatran tigers have a range of vocalisations and communication tools. Their roar can be heard up to 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) away. Crikey! Like all tiger species, their beautiful orange and black striped coat is unique to every individual, just like our fingerprints!
Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered species. There are fewer than 350 left in the wild. These beautiful animals are victim to the illegal wildlife pet trade, illegal poaching for traditional medicine, illegal hunting for pelts and meat, as well as experiencing rapid deforestation and habitat loss. They are a species that is facing certain extinction without our protection."
Pray for Me Guys! I'm not a big spicy foods fan but I am putting myself up for the Spicy Noodle Challenge! I've got milk, I've got water, and in the freezer I've got some ice cream to combat the heat. Wish Me Luck!

Dor Walker, here's my version... adjusted various tones & hues plus the little puddle. Tried to add some punch to it but don't know if I succeded.
Thanks for the challenge!
HEHEHEHEH - always good to see where we started and where we are now. 10 years ago, and this isn't what I looked like when I started here in SL that's even a bigger difference.
Sometimes it can be a challenge to choose the proper tool. Will it be metric or SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers, which would be the imperial measurement system)? Does the situation require a deep well (tall), or the shorter, shallow socket? What type socket: 8 point for square heads or 12 point for hex heads? Maybe a 6 point, to minimize the chance of rounding off a rusty hex head? Then consider the driver, a ratchet or perhaps a breaker bar for more leverage? Will the drive system be 1/4 inch for small fine work or 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch: or maybe 3/4 or 1 inch drive for heavy equipment? Do I need an extension to get into a tight obscure spot?
This picture only shows my 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch drive sockets The 3/4 inch and 1/4 inch drive sets are in their own steel boxes.

These items were at the Battlesbridge Antiques and Reclamation Centre.
These garden Ornamental Obelisk are also made on site by the company (anyoldfrenchiron.com) I was quite impressed with this one.

When it comes to my pictures, I like to talk about challenges. Often, it's not about getting the best photos, but about the challenges in a particular situation.
In an old building that may be over 100 years old, such a window situation is unusual and only occurs in this room in the museum building. Of course, a tripod is not allowed.
So I tried to expose the outside and inside of the room in backlight, as close as possible to the exact same position.
Wide-angle lenses have their problems when orthogonal lines are distributed throughout the room because they distort in a cushion-shaped and barrel-shaped manner, and if you're unlucky, both at the same time (moustache type), and so a room where windows, corners, ceilings, and works of art form a grid makes the optical errors obvious.
This meant that I had to superimpose the exterior image over the interior image, and of course there were deviations, so I not only had to correct the distortion but also, quite often, correct parts of the image.
However, I found this “Petersburg hanging” of Münster Cathedral so interesting that I really wanted to show you the situation with a work of art by Albers, a work of art probably by Serra, and a black picture by an artist I don't know.

Ich spreche bei meinen Bildern gerne von Herausforderungen. Oft geht es mir gar nicht um die besten Fotos, sondern um die Herausforderungen in einer bestimmten Situation.
In einem alten Gebäude, das über 100 Jahre alt sein kann, ist eine solche Fenstersituation ungewöhnlich und kommt im Museumsgebäude nur in diesem Raum vor.
Ein Stativ ist natürlich nicht erlaubt. Also versuchte ich im Gegenlicht eine Belichtung des Außenraumes und eine Belichtung des Innenraumes, möglichst in der absolut gleichen Position.
Weitwinkel haben ihre Probleme, wenn über den ganzen Raum orthogonale Linien verteilt sind, weil sie kissenförmig oder tonnenförmig verzerren, wenn man Pech hat, beides gleichzeitig (Moustache-Type), und so ein Raum wo Fenster, Ecken, Decken und Kunstwerke ein Raster ergeben, macht die optischen Fehler deutlich.
Bedeutet, ich musste das Außenbild über das Innenbild bringen und natürlich gab es Abweichungen, und musste nicht nur entzerren sondern ganz oft einzelne Bildteile entzerren.
Jedoch fand ich diese "Petersburger Hängung" des Münsteraner Doms so interessant, dass ich euch die Situation unbedingt zeigen wollte mit einem Kunstwerk von Albers, einem Kunstwerk von wahrscheinlich Serra und einem schwarzen Bild, von dem ich nicht den Künstler kenne.

Our Daily Challenge ~ The Inside
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
I composed this image in response to a self-imposed photography challenge: create an interesting image of a door, or doors. In accomplishing this, I sought to construct a photograph that was open (pardon the pun) to interpretation.
In all the years i have been observing mountain goats I have never seen a goat make a mistake and have to u-turn. They will stand there cautiously taking their time to plan their route assessing the pitch and width of the path. This was a first. Having descended half way down the narrow path, the goat realized the pitch suddenly changed into something close to vertical. He sat at the precipice and rather than risk a vertical tumble hundreds of feet he carefully turned around and scaled the 30-40 feet he had previously covered while his concerned friend at the top watched his maneuver. This was no small feat even for a mountain goat.
The slope looks to be 60 degrees at this point (picture the steep pitch of the roof of a house) - enough of a slope that would send a human careening downward with nothing to hold on to.
When there are many problems and responsibilities in life, when you cannot feel free, then you challenge yourself and your destiny.
Когда в жизни множество проблем и обязанностей, когда ты не можешь почуствовать себя свободным, тогда ты бросаешь вызов самому себе и своей судьбе.
"Bokeh in the Foreground"
For this challenge, "bokeh" is defined in this way:
"the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens."
I struggled to get this right and I am not 100% happy with this but I hope it meets the challenge.
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
